RimmelLondon Stay Matte Liquid Mousse - 091 Light Ivory - Foundation, Lightweight, Shine Control, Oil-Free, 1oz

This foundation has become a daily essential for me, offering a lightweight feel with impressive coverage. The shade '085 Fair Beige' matches my skin tone perfectly. Its mousse texture blends effortlessly, providing a matte finish that controls shine throughout the day. I appreciate that it's oil-free, making it suitable for my combination skin. Plus, it's available at a great price point, making it accessible for daily use. Highly recommend!

This foundation is great. I like it better than my more expensive foundations. It keeps me from being oily. It doesn’t cake on and it covers my pores nicely. My face looks natural and it lasts all day with elf grip gel primer underneath. I love this foundation, it’s lightweight, not scented, doesn’t upset my sensitive skin or cause blemishes. I’ll continue to buy this product. It’s a steal for the price.

the texture of this foundation is something im not used to. it’s SUPER thick, like way thicker than toothpaste. maybe that doesnt bother others, but i’m used to quite liquidy foundations. i found this somewhat hard to blend because of that. it also got stuck and hardened on my brush just bc of how thick it is. however, i mixed it on my hand with some moisturizer and it was fine to use after that. coverage and appearance wise, this was actually lovely. i dont think it even looked like i had makeup on, just like i had perfect airbrushed skin. it was full coverage without being too cakey or anything, it looks really nice!! i can’t speak for longevity as i literally just tested this out, but i’ll update on that soon. also, i think this is the first foundation ive ever used that smells like absolutely nothing. the distinct smell of foundation has never bothered me, but not having it is nice.unfortunately the shade i bought isn’t the greatest match for me and i was issued a refund without a return (one of the only times i’d complain about that), so i’ll probably mix this in a jar with more moisturizer to make it less opaque so i can use it :)UPDATE DO NOTTT MIX THIS WITH MOISTURIZER IN ANY WAY PLEASE😭 this foundation is silicone based while most moisturizers (and liquid primers) are water based, and the 2 do NOTTT go well together.. it’s like oil and water but.. chunky.. eugh pls don’t make my mistake. my skin is too dry for makeup if i dont use a moisturizer right before so unfortunately i can’t use this foundation :(

LOVE this stuff! Been using it for years. Great full coverage! Light texture and a fresh dewy look lasts into the next day. Price is amazing for such great quality!

My go to!! I always find something new I want to try and no matter what, I always come back to this foundation! It is fluffy & smooth & has the best coverage. It stays all day and still looks great at the end of the day, makes your skin look so smooth too.

Definitely a matte finish. I applied with a little extra moisturizer. Coverage is good, but I'm not a fan , not for my skin, although I do like Rimmel products

My favorite “Go to” makeup when I need good coverage that blends well, lasts & is very affordable. Good for everyday use, but I wear a different brand usually….. and buy this brand for easy travel & backup

*So I found the trick to using this makeup is applying it with a makeup brush. I put a dollop of the foundation in my clean palm and add a drop or two of highlighting liquid to give the makeup some sheen because it’s very flat. I probably would not do that if my skin is very oily. After blending the two in my hand I buff the makeup into my skin. I go pretty heavy as I have freckles and sunspots. I let this layer dry for about 5 minutes and then I repeat. I let this dry and dust on some blush and finishing powder.Funny thing is, I went to Manhattan for an interview so used this makeup and after a short while my interviewer blurted out “I have to say your makeup is flawless. It’s incredible!”And it only cost me a few dollars!This double layer technique made all the difference. I was on a train, walking the city, interviewing, shopping, eating etc and train home. 12 total hours of activity and NO chance for touch-ups and my makeup looked great still when I got home!**********************************************************I have tried three colors from this Rimmel matte line which I’m reviewing here;•Fair Porcelain•Ivory•True Ivory (Some more appropriate name ideas for this color are; Oompa Loompah, Satsuma or MAGA Orange)Lots of pros and cons about this makeup so I’m still on the fence if I will buy again.PROS;-Covers the worst skin flaws better than my concealers do (in my case some stubborn-to-cover sun spots, freckles, blemishes)-even color on skin-lightweight and not greasy on skin even after hours of wear-PriceCONS;-Wears off after about 4 hours (for me, during a northeast American winter so it’s not even a sweat-related wearing down)-while it eventually wears off on my skin’s surface, there is still foundation in each and every pore on my face. It’s a very bad look.-color range is really inconsistent. There is no gradual progression of tone for each color. It goes from Fair Porcelain (which is paper white on my already ridiculously pale skin) to Ivory (a bit dark for my skin but I’m working with it) to True Ivory, which jumps to a completely different color all together. It’s insanely orange like results from a cheap sunless tanner. If you are an Orangutan, True Ivory is your color match.-Because of the cheap price I’m not going to nitpick about “good for your skin” ingredients like most foundations have in them these days but it’s what I like in a foundation. This makeup however, has the most basic of ingredients. As I said, for the price I can deal.So in conclusion, once you can find your color match (a feat in itself) I think this is great for a few hours wear for oily skin. It is very flat in color so I add highlight drops to give it some illumination and because it’s a cold, dry winter here, I put a good moisturizer on underneath.I have no idea how this makeup will behave during summer months here when it’s hot and humid. I’ll try to update.
